Chicago, Illinois Team Scavenger Hunts

Program Overview

IT'S NOT THE FASTEST TEAM THAT WINS -- IT'S THE SMARTEST TEAM!

There are too many Missions to reach within the official timeframe – this is intentional. Strategy and big picture thinking is key to success.

Unlike your typical scavenger hunt that leads teams point to point sequentially – this playing field is wide open. Your team has the opportunity to head north, south, east or west – the choice is up to you! Mission Impossible is about strategy – we don't tell you where to go – you decide the best route based on a series of complex clues. Which team will have the best strategy? Which team will decipher the most codes? Which team will complete the most missions? Which team will earn the most performance revenues?

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IN ACTION

Kick Off: Teams gather at a central location in the field of play area within Chicago's Michigan Avenue area. A quick overview of the TEAM Balance Model will provide important clues on how to best approach the challenge.

Team Briefing: The rules of engagement are revealed and Missions are distributed. It is up to each time on how they want to strategize and set their course of action.

Mission Impossible in Action: Teams head out on foot (or step up the level of intensity with bikes) in search of each Mission Challenge location while managing their Photo Challenges. There are too many Missions to reach during the official timeframe. It is up to each team to determine which locations to target and ultimately earn the most performance points.

Results and Debrief: Teams arrive to Mission Headquarters for final scoring and review of the results. Because of the complexity of the Missions, each team is recognized for unique accomplishments. Of course there is also recognition for the team that has earned the most performance points!

PROGRAM DELIVERY OPTIONS

Start and Finish locations can be customized to your team’s meeting venue or travel requirements. Let us suggest some great places to celebrate results in the many high-energy restaurants and bars of downtown Chicago.
